Turning Empty Spaces Into Community Connections
A peer-to-peer marketplace for residential parking spots and storage cages in Sydney
Our Story
SpotMate was born from a simple frustration that many Sydney apartment residents know all too well: seeing empty parking spots and storage cages sitting unused while neighbours struggle to find space.
It started in Melrose Park Village, where we noticed a pattern that repeated itself across countless apartment buildings. Some residents had parking spots they rarely used. Others circled the streets every evening searching for a place to park. Storage cages sat filled with forgotten boxes while neighbours paid hundreds for off-site storage.
We saw an opportunity to transform every building into a sharing community — where neighbours could help neighbours, and unused spaces could find new purpose.
Our Mission
“To unlock the hidden value in residential buildings by connecting neighbours who have space with those who need it.”
The Problem We Solve
Parking Spots Sit Unused
Nearly a third of residential parking spots remain empty while neighbours park on the street, risking fines and theft.
Storage Cages Full of Forgotten Junk
Storage cages sit unused or filled with items that will never be touched, while neighbours pay hundreds per month for off-site storage facilities.
No Easy Way to Connect
Even in the same building, there's no simple way for residents to find each other, arrange rentals, or handle payments securely.
Our Values
Community First
We believe in the power of neighbours helping neighbours. Every feature we build strengthens the bonds within residential communities.
Trust & Safety
Your peace of mind matters. We verify users, secure transactions, and create a safe environment for sharing within your building.
Simplicity
Sharing should be effortless. We strip away complexity so you can list a space or find one in just a few taps.
Fairness
Fair pricing, transparent fees, and balanced policies that work for both hosts and renters. Everyone wins.
